[APP][ROOT][ALL] Spotify with unlimited skips and no ads. - Android Apps and Games

Been using this for a few months now figured I'd share.
Download the zip and unzip it into your system/data/apps folder and install the base apk, enjoy.
This does not replace Spotify premium, as all other premium features still require a premium membership.
Link removed per Spotify request.

1.0: This app is an as is modification, I'll try and update it as updates roll out but I can't guarantee that it will work. Right now I suggest just ignoring the full screen update message.
1.1 Updated OP to version 8.4.43.632 March 1st update. Tested on armv7 device, all others may not work.
I'll post updates here.

Now I don't miss Xposed at all!
Thanks for sharing

i just tried this, seems to work so far. Thanks for sharing! ?
i extracted to: sdcard/android/data/com.spotify.music
then installed base.apk to update.
there is an annoyance tho...fullscreen "Update Available" screen everytime i go to currently playing page.
can i update and keep the unlimited skips?
or can i stop it looking for updates?

I'm not sure honestly, I've never updated lol I've just been ignoring it.

any idea what those files are?!
and what exactly is base.apk?
its it just the app renamed? ...i want to try and update, but if these files are some patches, then my guess is they should be re-added after the update.
same goes for base.apk, if its the whole app then we cant install it again after update... but if its a patch, then we must install after every update.
do you have any info on these files?!

said that contains viruses

hey dude, just a heads up!
this morning i got an email from spotify telling me my app has been disabled.
said i should uninstall any unauthorised modifications, and doenload the app from the playstore again.
i guess they found out somehow about this patch. ?
i think its time to look for a new one.
i'll make sure to let you know if i find a good one that works.

It's not a virus lol might be some type of security scan for modified apps a lot of modded apps come up as a virus for no reason.

That's very weird, it still works for me too.

Currently trying to work the patch into the most recent Spotify update, will post back with results soon.

Updated OP to version 8.4.43.632 March 1st update.
Only tested on armv7 device, not guaranteed to work on all devices.
This gets installed the same way as the original, replace the folder and install base.apk

thanks man, retrying now.
they've blocked my account i think, because now i cant login anymore...they let me reset my password but not login.
--UPDATE--
i installed from play store and applied the patch. my account worked this time. im logged in, playlists are still there.
gonna try it today and see how it goes.
Thanks man, legend!! ??

Extracted zip to data folder. Opened folder and installed base.apk, still can't select any song I want. Only shuffle.
Still confirmed working?

Is this for 1.5?
It's 1.5. Mine got updated too.
Yep for 1.5...I'm running Gumbo 1.5c
I'm doing my update right now as I type...
all you do is push to /system/app right... you dont actually need to click it and install it, right?
no idea...I used the flashrec method to root and I use a file explorer to install apks.
Confirmed Working on 2.1
just use a file manager like Estrongs , Astro or Linda to install the APK Linda
Install with Astro..no need to push it or anything.download astro file manager from the manager n open the apk,install.done....
Thanks for posting the update!
I installed the modacco rom and it did not have the sprint navigation. this thread is labeled as an update, will this perform the full install or do I have to have it installed first?
It will install as a APP runs smooth on mine
push sprint nav with fresh pre-kitchen...
run it from your phone and it will update itself....
Already updated, is there a change log somewhere?
I was coming from v2.1.
Edit:
Found something - http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/150540;jsessionid=2332946C8CBC06B631342D4107B0C81A.app2jive1#150540

We dont have lite or else we wouldnt have weather. I think we just do not have premium.

Latest Google Voice update

I thought I posted this before I left work this morning but might have forgotten to hit "send".
Anyway, I'm having trouble installing the latest google voice update? I keep getting a "Package file was not signed correctly" error message.
The 'recently changed in this version' lists battery usage improvements so I really want to give this a try.
Is there something I can do to push this update through?

Hello?
Can anyone explain how I can sign it myself?
Uninstall the one you have installed then go to the market and get the latest. When installing make sure to hit skip and install the old way otherwise you will make your sprint number your google voice number.

You can just disable it again via the Google Voice settings through the website so it's not the end of the world if u select it by accident which is what I did...

[Q] Swype - Need some help since update ICS

Hello,
Anyway when I first got my one s I was able to install swype onto it without any problems, I like it A LOT more then the default junk on it. So last night I wanted the new tmob update, and since I had root and SU I had to do all the voodoo to unroot and relock my phone before hitting it with the RUU.
So now I got it updated and then got root and SU back, so I reinstall all my stuff onto it. I get to installing the swype beta onto it, but this time I get an error saying "error: this screen size is not supported. Check beta.swype.com/android/faq for a list of supported sizes"
Did the screen dpi get changed with the new update or did I miss something?
I think I maybe wrong, I am on 1.53.531.16 710RD which I don't think is the newest tmob. Also when I check for update it's not finding one.
The new Swype beta installer should work. Get it from the official site. They fixed that bug.

It is my understanding that you need to do the 3 dot menu mod before Swype thinks your screen size is OK.

No, that's not true, you do not need any mod. My One S is completely stock and swype works fine. I will try to upload the apk and PM you with it.

Try this one, it's the actual one...
Do not flash, just unpack and install like any other .apk
MOD EDIT: apk removed. Swype apk is not allowed to be distributed on xda.

Thanks, and it works fine. Just that was the CORE apk and not the installer, I am not going to knock it. But now when I goto type an icon in the upper left shows a keyboard, I don't recall it but whatever I can live with it.

It asks you to enable swype.
Maybe due to a bug this happens when opening certain programs and returns, also it's enabled. Make shure to check swype settings in settings -> language & Keyboard -> swype.

Yes, it worked without any issues. Just needed to turn it on in the settings unlike with the installer where it does it for you. I threw it up on my dropbox so next time if I get this issue again I got a plan.
Well about 2 mins ago it just installed the core files on it's own and synced my license number up. Neat.

I have not installed the update yet (don't feel like reflashing recovery etc.) But I get that "enable Swype" notification in the status bar (with keyboard icon) quite often.
I love Swype, but it's just a keyboard...how long does beta need to be???

cant install apks

Today i tried to install an apk i downloaded from a company thats software i use, Touchdown for my email and contacts etc.
When i went to the download file to click on the apk to update my version it gives me the install option but i cant click on it only on cancel.
I messed around and then did the same thing though my file explorer and this time i was presented with an option to install it using package installer or juicy installer work around.
package didnt work the the installer workaround did.
Is this a problem with juicy or what?
If its a problem and they have obviously included a work around are they going to fix it?
This is a weird issue i guess idk.
Any responses would be helpful.
Go to settings>security and check the "unknown sources" box. Without that you can only install apps from the play store.

Disable the brightness control in juice defender. That's causing your problems.

Is that with all screen dimmers or just Juicy?
With Juicy i can at least do the pull down click brightness turn it off and install then turn it back on

Have you tried going to the app in app manager and clearing data and cache. If that doesn't do anything you could use a file explorer program to delete it from /system/app folder and then download it from play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.
ill try to paste the APK into the system/app folder....
[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.
